ABC Orders Legal Thriller Pilot Written by Marcia Clark

Per TV Line, ABC has ordered a pilot for a new legal drama co-written and executive produced by Marcia Clark, the prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. The show is a legal thriller titled The Fix.

The story for the show centers on a female prosecutor who leaves Los Angeles for rural Oregon “after losing the biggest case of her career and being shredded by the media.” That sounds a lot like Clark’s own life after the Simpson trial. Years later, the murderer she failed to convict strikes again, which brings the prosecutor back to LA in order to bring him to justice.

Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain (The 100, 666 Park Avenue) will co-write the pilot episode with Clark. They will also serve as executive producers.
